Maev Beaty shines in one-woman Elizabeth Strout adaptation

The King of the Party, played by Lou Campbell, is wearing a light pink bodysuit covering everything but their eyes and mouth, with a red-pink crown on their head. They hold a bubble wand in one hand and the bottle of bubbles in the other. Bubbles are floating in the air around them. The suit has bubble patterns on it, blending with the real bubbles in the scene. Their face is visible through the cutout in the suit, with an expressive, open-mouthed look. The background is completely black, and the figure is illuminated by pink lighting, drawing attention to the bubbles and the character’s pose.
